The choice was between Lord Halifax and Churchill for Prime Minister.

Halifax wanted peace talks with Germany and indeed overtures had been made.

Churchill refused and Chamberlain backed Churchill

However if Halifax had become PM instead of Churchill who knows what might have happened.

You say some else could have done what Churchill did.

Who??????

I agree Churchill did a number of questionable things.

That does not negate what he did in time of war.
